Mystery Time By Jane Hannah tries to be two mysteries in one. The
first mystery has to do with murder, and that one catches your
attention right off the bat, and does a fairly good job of hanging on
until the very end.
The second mystery has to do with a watch
currently owned by the female protagonist. The watch is an heirloom left
to her by her deceased husband.
As the story progresses, it
swings back and forth between the murder chapters and the watch
chapters, but most of the transitions aren't as well done as one could
expect, hence the loss of one star from my rating. At times, I even
questioned the relevance of some parts of the story of this antique
watch, until I remembered that it had been stolen early in the novel.
Better connection of the chapters that concern the watch to the chapters
about the murder investigation could make this novel more interesting.
Recommended to those who like murder mysteries. This review has also been posted on LibraryThing and on Amazon.com.
